For some time UCAN has received complaints about contractors offering energy efficient windows and other home improvements at very low costs with rebates through N.E.R.F., the National Energy Rebate Fund.  Dr. Sue Macomber comments in this story by John Maddis of Fox News. Watch it and you'll learn that the odds of getting your money out of a NERF offering are very, very poor.

I appreciated Dr. Sue Macomber's insightful comments and information on National Energy Rebate Fund, and her warnings on companies misrepresenting it to rip off consumers. I would like to see and hear more from her on this and other consumer protection investigations on a regualr basis.

Thank you.
